Designated Foreign NationalsImmigration Lawyer in Brampton, Toronto, the GTA, ON

The government has zero tolerance for immigrants who arrive in Canada as part of an organized group involved in human smuggling for profit or in connection with a criminal organization or terrorist group. Immigrants who are part of such a group can be declared to be designated foreign nationals, and as such, there are severe restrictions on their ability to claim permanent residence and their detention review rights are limited. Furthermore, they are subject to serious criminal sanctions which include heavy fines and jail.
